Measured and calculated spudcan penetration profiles for case histories in sand-over-clay

Comparison of measured and Monte Carlo calculated dose distributions from “circular collimators” for radiosurgical beams

Background: Stereotactic radiosurgery is an important clinical tool for the treatment of small lesions in the brain, including benign conditions, malignant and localized metastatic tumors. A dosimetry study was performed for Elekta ‘Synergy S ’ as a dedicated Stereotactic radiosurgery unit, capable of generating circular radiation fields with diameters of 1-5 cm at isocentre using the BEAM/EGS4...

Effects of the Spudcan Penetration on the Adjacent Foundations

To study the effects of spudcan penetration on the adjacent foundations of offshore platforms, experiments and numerical simulations (using business software ABAQUS) are carried out. It is shown that the penetration of spudcan can cause the soil layer affected in an annular zone. The affected zone has a maximum width of one times the diameter of the spudcan. The deflection of the platform’s fou...

Calculated electronic profiles for liquid-metal surfaces.

Antibiotic abscess penetration: fosfomycin levels measured in pus and simulated concentration-time profiles.

The present study was performed to evaluate the ability of fosfomycin, a broad-spectrum antibiotic, to penetrate into abscess fluid. Twelve patients scheduled for surgical or computer tomography-guided abscess drainage received a single intravenous dose of 8 g of fosfomycin. The fosfomycin concentrations in plasma over time and in pus upon drainage were determined. A pharmacokinetic model was d...

COMPARISON Of MEASURED AND CALCULATED DYNAMIC APERTURE

Dynamic aperture experiments at the Fermilab Main Ring, the TEVATRON, the SPS and HERA are reviewed and compared with simulations. The agreement between experiments with additional strong nonlinearities and corresponding simulations is fairly good, if the relavant parameters are suf®ciently well known and included in the model. Direct comparison is more problematic if machines under normal oper...
